Haverford High's hockey team needed a win in the worst way coming into Monday's ICSHL Central League A Division tussle with Radnor.

With the Fords on a four-game losing streak and the past two losses coming via shutout, it was safe to say that coach John Povey's bunch desperately needed to end up on the right side of the scoreboard.

Haverford got the win that it was looking for thanks to a 4-2 win over the Red Raiders as the Fords rode four straight goals from Beau Dougherty, Kenny Kissinger, Joe Moran and Michel McNelis en route to their first victory since Dec. 7.

Dougherty, Moran and McNelis also picked up assists for Haverford (5-6-0, 3-6-0), while Joe Harant stopped 21 of 23 shots fired his way.

Dan Michaelson paced the Red Raiders (4-6-1, 4-5-1) with a goal and an assist on Dalton Morris' goal, while Grayson Mameniskis stoned 28 attempts in the loss for Radnor.

In another Central League A game:

Garnet Valley 2, Conestoga 1

John Hodge's perfect two-line pass found Jake Matier in stride and Matier made no mistake with his ensuing power play breakaway to put the Jaguars (6-5-0, 5-4-0) up 2-0 in the second period, a lead that stood thanks in large part to 24 saves from Jordan Sivick.

Steve Nakrasius got the scoring started in the first period thanks to help from Dylan Ely and Tyler Kennedy.
